NBA and Eleven Sports have announced a partnership to bring NBA games and programming to fans in Taiwan, beginning with the current NBA season. Eleven Sports has secured digital rights for Taiwan and from Nov. 24 will broadcast three live NBA games each week throughout the NBA regular season, plus NBA All-Star weekend, selected games from the NBA Playoffs, Conference Finals and The Finals, along with daily highlights and NBA programs, on its Eleven Sports platform available online and via the app (Eleven Sports). 

The Spanish Basketball League (ACB) will be broadcast in Finland for the first time after reaching an agreement with Elisa Entertainment Service, which will carry ACB games during the '16-17 season. Finnish ACB players include Petteri Koponen of Barcelona, Sasu Salin of Gran Canaria and Jamar Wilson of Estudiantes (ACB).

Nielsen Sports was commissioned by the Australian Grand Prix Corp. to provide research solutions for two Australian sporting events -- the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix and F1 Australian Grand Prix. Nielsen Sports Dir of Business Solutions Ned Morris said, "For a long time now the Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix and Formula 1 Grand Prix have been two of the premier events on the Victorian and Australian sporting calendar. We’ll be looking at what attracts domestic and international visitors to attend the two events and perhaps more importantly, how to continually broaden the appeal of these events to a wider audience" (Nielsen).
